Hi.

Does anyone here know how much the Igenex Lyme DOT-BLOT Assay and Reverse western blot is?

Also, how much is the PCR test and is blood the most accurate PCR test? or urine?

Thanks

Based on our tracking, as well as input from our client physicians and our clinical consultant, the initial Panel to order for Lyme disease is the IGeneX Panel 6050. This panel includes the IFA, IgM and IgG Western Blots and PCRs for Borrelia burgdorferi. The IFA is a general Lyme disease screen. The Western Blots are to determine which antibodies the patient is making. The Western Blot is 96% specific. Since some patients do not make antibodies, the Lyme Whole Blood PCR for DNA (#463) and the Lyme Serum PCR for DNA (#453) is included.

Thanks for all the info everyone!

I do have another question, is it best to be ON antibiotics while having the LDA? Or should I take a few days break? or what?

Thanks again.

Hey Chrisbthelymie,

I was off all meds for awhile, before I had more test done.

But I have been on antibiotics for other lyme testing.

Not sure if it makes a big difference. I have always tested a high postive for Lyme disease right from the start. Some of those test were done when I was on antibiotics. I have had at least 10 test done for it in the last 4 yrs. Even come out a high pos with our CDC.

All my test came from the western blot.

Best wishes ... good luck
